Anholt is known for its impressive desert, which covers around 80 percent of the island's area, making it Northern Europe's largest desert area.

However, you should be aware that there is limited space for cars on the ferry, usually only up to two cars, and these spaces may be occupied by goods. It is therefore recommended to make a reservation well in advance if you wish to bring your car to Anholt. The island's name, Anholt, can be traced back to approx. 1250 and is believed to come from the verb "ana," which refers to a windward location, and the suffix "-und," meaning "characterized by, provided with." At Anholt you can experience a number of fantastic experiences. Explore the island's impressive scenery, rich wildlife and sunny shores that stretch for 25 km.
